Campaigners will march through Chester to protest against the badger cull.

Activists say the Government-backed cull could come into effect in Cheshire next year.

The Cheshire against the Badger Cull campaign has organised the march through the city centre on Saturday (December 10).

Anna Golub from Cheshire Against the Cull said: “We are delighted the Badger Army is marching through Chester.

“Evidence is mounting the cull could come to Cheshire in 2017.

“More than ever we need to raise awareness about the plight of our innocent badgers to try and prevent this unscientific and inhumane bloodshed happening in our county, especially as there is a badger vaccination programme here."
